I got out of Bible study last night and flipped to a sports radio channel on my way home and the radio host was telling us how certain he was that Tiger would win because he’s the greatest golfer of all time. Got sick of it after 10 minutes and flipped to another sports radio channel where they began talking about the British Open and how Tiger would win it because he was the greatest golfer of all time.
It’s like Tiger is the Obama of the sports world. None dare may speak ill of him. Let’s hand him the British Open the way Obama was handed the Nobel Peace Prize - just for showing up. I didn’t start out as an ABT (Anybody But Tiger) golf watcher but I certainly am now.
By the same token, Danica Patrick and Tim Tebow are the Sarah Palin of the sports world. Danica is treated poorly, just because she is a woman and Tebow is denigrated because of his commitment to being a Christian in word and deed. Palin is derided both for being a woman and for being a Christian. I never thought the sports world would be so political.
